Supplies to get before you bring your new baby home

Your piglet will need a teacup dog harness that adjusts under the chest, as well as around the neck. Please note that pigs are not shaped like dogs, so the kind that is only adjustable around the chest/abdomen will not work. However, you will also need to get a retractable leash!! YOU NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THE SHAPE OF THE PIGLET WHEN YOU PURCHASE A T-SHIRT OR SWEATER. NORMALLY XS IS THE SIZE YOU WILL GET FOR 5-6 MONTH OLD. YOU NEED TO FIND ONE THAT YOU CAN STRETCH THE NECK OUT A LITTLE IF NECESSARY FOR A COMFORTABLE FIT |

THESE ARE ITEMS YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE TO MAKE A "SET-UP" LIKE YOUR PIGGY IS USED TO BEING HOUSED IN. **THE PLAYPEN IS A COSCO PACK AND PLAY FROM WALMART IN THE $45 RANGE **YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE TWO OF THE ALL PURPOSE BLACK TUBS FROM LOWES. I HAVE A DESCRIPTION LABEL FORM THE STORE SHOWN. **THE TWO TUBS SIT SIDE BY SIDE DOWN IN THE PACK AND PLAY. LITTER GOES IN ONE SIDE, THE PIGGIES BED IN THE OTHER SIDE **IF YOU HAVE A DOLLAR TREE STORE NEAR YOU, THAT IS WHERE I PURCHASE THE FOOD & WATER BOWLS. THEY ARE HEAVY CERAMIC AND THEY DON'T TURN THEM OVER AS EASY AS THE LIGHTWEIGHT BOWLS. |

Mazuri mini pig feed... iif your piglet is over 6 months old, get the active adult, if under 6 months, get youth. You may have to special order this if you live in the city, or PetSmart may be able to order for you. Personally, I find it at my local Tractor Supply Company store. |
If you can't find it locally, you can have it shipped directly from the company - click the photo for their website!
It comes in 25 lb. bags and I believe shipping is free! They run about $14.99.

Never, ever buy anything for your pig that has cedar in it... cedar is very toxic to pigs! |
